Accidentally invincible!-Chapter 129 - 0: Little Jinzi, Get Up

"Ye Zhen Tian, I came uninvited. You shouldn’t be unhappy, right?" Lin Fan sat there, as though treating the place like his own home, making no effort to act like a guest.

As for whether Ye Zhen Tian was pleased or not, it didn’t concern him.

After all, he only cared about his own happiness.

Ye Zhen Tian gave a faint smile and called out to the disciple outside, "Serve the tea."

Soon, a disciple arrived carrying tea.

"This is premium Spiritual Tea. The tea tree only produces leaves after thirty years, and the yield is extremely scarce. Have a taste," Ye Zhen Tian said, with a trace of pride as he spoke about the tea, clearly boasting about his possession of such rare goods.

In the delicate teacup, two tea leaves floated gently, releasing a rich and sweet fragrance.

Xi Xi and the others had never tasted such tea before. Just smelling the aroma made their mouths water.

Ye Zhen Tian observed Lin Fan’s expression and spoke slowly, "The mother tree of this tea has already been transplanted to Zhen Tian Peak. It is now rare in the world, and drinking it regularly greatly benefits the Divine Soul."

At this moment, Ye Zhen Tian was merely fishing for attention.

He envied Lin Fan for being adopted by the Supreme Elder—something he could never hope to achieve. But even so, he wanted to reclaim his honor as a True Disciple in Lin Fan’s presence.

Xi Xi and the others wanted to drink the tea, but seeing that their junior brother hadn’t touched his cup, they refrained as well.

Lin Fan glanced at the tea cup, which contained only two lone tea leaves, and said, "There’s a rumor going around that Ye Zhen Tian is incredibly stingy. Now that I’ve seen it, the reputation is well-earned. Just two tea leaves in one cup—truly miserly."

"You..." Ye Zhen Tian’s face changed at these words, but he knew Lin Fan was deliberately trying to provoke him. Considering Lin Fan’s status and the Supreme Elder’s favor, having a confrontation with him would likely lead to unfavorable consequences.

Lin Fan picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The taste was truly fragrant, but...

Ptui!

"What nonsense tea is this? Absolutely disgusting," Lin Fan cursed. This remark made Ye Zhen Tian’s face turn even darker.

Xi Xi and the others had already gulped down their tea. However, seeing their junior brother spit it out, they were dumbfounded—they hadn’t expected this outcome. But to show solidarity with Lin Fan, they too had to spit it out.

With the tea already in their stomachs, there was only one way.

They used saliva as a substitute.

Ptui!

Just like Lin Fan, they pretended to spit it out.

Ye Zhen Tian realized that Lin Fan had come looking for trouble—a man who had gained favor was now acting lawlessly. The worst part was, there wasn’t a thing he could do about it.

Lin Fan set down his tea cup and turned his gaze toward Nan Gongjin.

Nan Gongjin seemed to sense Lin Fan’s stare. Even with his head lowered, his body shuddered slightly, signaling his fear.

"Nan Gongjin, haven’t you always urged me to step onto the Life and Death Platform? Well, I accept. I’ll meet you on the Life and Death Platform. Will you go?" Lin Fan asked.

Ye Zhen Tian’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and a cunning idea surfaced in his mind.

He wanted Nan Gongjin to act as a scapegoat—let Nan Gongjin fight Lin Fan on the Life and Death Platform, then kill Lin Fan there. Wouldn’t everything fall into place perfectly?

Even if he got implicated afterward, as a True Disciple, at most he would face some disciplinary action.

Nan Gongjin trembled with fear.

Even now, being asked to go on the platform, he dared not.

"Why so silent? Weren’t you the one urging me at first? Don’t worry; nothing will happen. Even if you kill me, my mother, the Supreme Elder, surely wouldn’t trouble you, right?" Lin Fan said.

Nan Gongjin stood frozen, speechless at Lin Fan’s words.

Could you not say something like that?

Mentioning the Supreme Elder was clearly meant to intimidate him.

He initially wanted to coax Lin Fan onto the Life and Death Platform to earn a Spirit Pill from his senior brother. Had he known things would unfold like this, he wouldn’t have agreed even if someone had threatened to kill him.

Ye Zhen Tian frowned, secretly disdaining Nan Gongjin. Lin Fan had already spelled everything out—what was there left to hesitate over? Just get on the stage! And if you die afterward, your senior brother will burn paper for you; isn’t that fine?

Jealousy turned into bitterness.

Ye Zhen Tian was now consumed with envy for Lin Fan’s streak of luck.

"Junior brother, since you’ve already come this far, why not just accompany him to the Life and Death Platform?" Ye Zhen Tian said.

This was the classic case of speaking from a position of safety.

Nan Gongjin abruptly looked at Ye Zhen Tian, initially hoping his senior brother would defend him. But to his shock, his senior brother was actually encouraging him to go to the platform—sending him off to die!

Ye Zhen Tian gave Nan Gongjin a nod with a faint smile, as if saying, "It’s your chance to show loyalty to your senior brother."

"Senior brother, you’re sending me to my death!" Nan Gongjin exclaimed angrily.

But no sooner had he spoken than...

Nan Gongjin felt a crushing pressure bearing down on him, nearly suffocating.

Smack!

Lin Fan slammed the table and shouted, "What’s the matter here? Nan Gongjin is a disciple of the sect. Are you thinking of attacking him? Let me remind you of the sect rules: harming fellow disciples outside of the Life and Death Platform results in loss of cultivation, expulsion from the sect, and revocation of your disciple status."

"I could report you to the Punishment Hall."

"But rest assured, even though my mother oversees the Punishment Hall, she would never misuse her position to oppress you."

Having a powerful backing made one bold.

Ye Zhen Tian retracted his oppressive aura, his face turning cold. "Lin Fan, you came here just to stir up trouble, didn’t you?"

Lin Fan smiled indifferently, then turned to Nan Gongjin and said, "Nan Gongjin, I feel sorry that you have such a senior brother. His goal is to pressure you into attacking me so he can frame you later. But from what I see, you seem to have some intelligence left. You can distinguish good from wicked and didn’t follow his lead. Am I right?"

Nan Gongjin stared at Lin Fan in utter shock.

If it weren’t for your mother’s high status, how could he not dare?

Nan Gongjin found himself stuck in a dilemma. There seemed no way out, and mishandling this situation could lead to disaster.

"Lin Fan, what exactly are you implying?" Ye Zhen Tian roared.

Lin Fan replied, "Simply the literal meaning. Can’t be wrong, can it?"

After that, he ignored Ye Zhen Tian completely.

"Nan Gongjin, I see your cultivation is nearing the Golden Core stage. Later, head to the Alchemy Hall in my name to request a Spirit Pill. From now on, follow me, and I’ll guide you through the maze. Are you willing?" Lin Fan said calmly, as if the Taiwu Immortal Sect were his own domain.

Smack!

Ye Zhen Tian jumped to his feet and slammed the table. "Lin Fan, what’s the meaning of this? Nan Gongjin is my junior brother, and you’ve come to Zhen Tian Peak to steal my people? How arrogant of you..."

Before Ye Zhen Tian could finish his sentence, he was metaphorically slapped.

Nan Gongjin immediately dropped to one knee. "Thank you, Brother Lin. From the moment I saw you, I knew you were destined to be an extraordinary figure. I only followed Ye Zhen Tian’s oppressive rule out of fear. Now that you offer salvation, how dare I refuse? From this day forth, I pledge my allegiance, with my life at your service."

To him, this was a golden opportunity.

Who offers the brighter future?

Anyone with half a brain could see.

Following the Supreme Elder’s son was undoubtedly the wisest choice.

Ye Zhen Tian gaped, pointing at Nan Gongjin, "You..."

He hadn’t expected Nan Gongjin to betray him.

And to pledge himself to this upstart.

Lin Fan, pleased with Nan Gongjin’s attitude, smiled and said, "Good, very good, Little Jin. Stand up. With me here, no one will dare touch you."
